You know what, you're right, that's my bad. They are 40N Fronts and 50N rear linear springs.

As in N/m? Which would be 429 and 536lbs/in? That's not so soft.

Racecomp Engineering · 07-26-2013, 02:38 PM

They're 40 N/mm which is 228 lbs/in in front. Approx 4 kg/mm.

50 N/mm rear or 280 or so lbs/in rear. Approx 5 kg/mm.

You got to it before I could, but yeah, that's what they equate to.

Just installed my ST coilovers! Tomorrow at noon my Enkei Raijins and Michelin PSS wheels and tires go on along with an alignment.

One thing i like about these coilovers (aside from the price) is the spring rates are closer to the stock rates. On my BMW 135i, I went with Ohlins and VERY stiff spring rates, and while the car handled brilliantly, the stiff, bouncy ride got old. It was one of the reasons I traded it in for my BRZ.
The ST coilovers feel very similar to the stock shocks, stiff, but not too stiff, with a nice quiet ride. I feel these were the best choice for me, since I know i wasn't going to mess with adjustments, and I probably won't track or AX the car (too busy) so I was able to lower my car and retain the streetability.

I can't wait til tomorrow, I'll post pics after I get the car back with the wheels and tires installed.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you order the coils from?

mike the snake · 08-05-2013, 12:15 PM

I ordered them through my local Subaru tuner "Fine Line Imports" cost was $850.

I'm pretty sure the ST coilovers can be ordered up from a bunch of different places though.

I think it's a max of 2 inches lower. Which is perfect for me.
